This historic estate has been in existence since 1630’s, making it one of the oldest in Northern Ireland. The walled garden about 2 acres in area has beautiful rose beds and a well stocked kitchen garden. Terence Reeves Smith has described it in his guide as, 'the best garden in private hands'. There are also woodland walks around a small lake. The cobbled stable yard is an unusual diamond shape and contains the Stables, Coach Houses, Cart Houses and a tea room.
